A
Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia(痴呆)in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones(荷尔蒙), U. S. researchers reported on Thursday.
Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer’s(早老痴呆症). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.
“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain, including estrogen(雌激素),which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,” Kinsley said. 
“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”
Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer’s and other forms of age-related brain decline.
“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.
“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice(牺牲) her life for her infant—that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations(改变) to the brain.”
21.How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”?
A. Some researchers have told them.
B. Many women say so.
C. They know it by experimenting on rats.
D. They know it through their own experience.
22. What does the phrase “litters of pups” mean in the second paragraph?
A. Baby rats B. Animals C. Old rats D. Grown-up rats
23.Which title is the best for this passage?
A. Do You Want to Be Smarter?
B. Motherhood Makes Women Smarter
C. Mysterious Hormones
D. An Important Study
B
Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be dirtier than their gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions（零排放）vehicles”, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants most all use fire to make it. Apart from the few people who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators（发电机）. Generators are fueled by something--usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal（地热的）plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. Because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not true. It's as if the California Greens are covering their eyes—“If I can't see it, it's not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas（or another fuel）and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat--at the generator, through the transmission (传递)lines, etc.
A gallon of gas may drive your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far, so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from wind or geothermal, or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources.
　　In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.
24. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Electric cars aren’t actually clean
B. Electric cars are zero-emission vehicles
C. Zero-emission vehicles are popular
D. Gasoline-powered cars are more efficient
25. Which of the following words can replace “be clueless about” in Paragraph 2?
A. be familiar with B. be curious about
C. fail to understand D. show their interest in
26. The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run ________.
A. at least 25 miles B. more than 25 miles
C. as far as 25 miles D. less than 25 miles
27. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.
A. electric cars’ batteries are poisonous for a long time
B. now electric cars are used more than their gasoline-powered cousins
C. zero-emission vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment
D. electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning something
C
When elephants retire, many head for the Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tenn. They arrive one by one, but they tend to live out their lives two-by-two. "Every elephant that comes here searches out someone that she then spends most all of her time with," says sanctuary co-founder Carol Buckley. It's likely having a best girlfriend, Buckley says "Somebody they can relate to, they have something in common with."
   Debbie has Ronnie. Misty can't live without Dulary. Those are pachyderm-pachyderm pairs. But perhaps the closest friends of all are Tarra and Bella. Tarra, an 8,700 pound Asian elephant; Bella, a stray dog, are closest friends.
Bella is one of more than a dozen stray dogs that have found a home at the sanctuary. Most want nothing to do with the elephants and vice versa. But not this odd couple. "Bella knows she's not an elephant. Tarra knows she's not a dog," Buckley adds. "But that's not a problem for them." "When it's time to eat they both eat together. They drink together. They sleep together. They play together," Buckley says.
   Tarra and Bella have been close for years — but no one really knew how close they were until recently. A few months ago Bella suffered a spinal cord injury. She couldn't move her legs, couldn't even wag her tail. For three weeks the dog lay motionless up in the sanctuary office. And for three weeks the elephant held a vigil(守夜祈祷): Tarra just stood in the corner, beside a gate, right outside that sanctuary office. "She just stood outside the balcony - just stood there and waited," says Buckley. "She was concerned about her friend." Then one day, sanctuary co-founder Scott Blais carried Bella onto the balcony so she and Tarra could at least see each other.
"Bella's tail started wagging. And we had no choice but bring Bella down to see Tarra," Blais says.
  They visited like that every day until Tarra could walk. Today, their love and trust are stronger than ever. Bella even lets Tarra pet her tummy - with the bottom of her enormous foot. They harbor no fears, no secrets, no prejudices. Just two living creatures who somehow managed to look past their immense differences.
   Take a good look at this couple, human beings. Take a good look at the world. If they can do it — what's our excuse?
28. The underlined part “Those are pachyderm-pachyderm pairs.” in Para. 2 means _________.
A. both of the pairs are elephants B. both of the pairs look strange
C. animals there have different kinds of friends D. they are friends of the same kind
29. According to the passage we can learn that ________.
A. most elephants and dogs in the Elephant Sanctuary became good friends
B. people didn’t know Tarra and Bella were good friends for a long time
C. the dog wagging its tail means very sad
D. when Bella recovered, their friendship became stronger
30. From the last paragraph we can infer that _________.
A. different animals can become closest friends
B. people should learn something from the two friends
C. people all over the world should cooperate to protect the world
D. people all over the world should become the closest friends
31. Which would be the best title of the passage?
A. Unlikely Friends B. Lasting Friendship
C. Selfless Love D. Magic Nature
